Singer congratulates Sue Moreland
Enjoying one of the benefits of being Kansas Dairy Princess, KU coed Sue Moreland is congratulated by singer Gordon McRae. The Mount Hope junior will make several personal appearances before competing for the national crown in Chicago next June.
Kansas Dairy Princess was not prepared for victory
Susan Moreland, Mount Hope junior found the possibility of being named Kansas Dairy Princess rather remote—so remote she didn't even bother to bring enough clothes with her to the competition Sept. 13 at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson.
The blonde coed won the title and had to go home the next morning to assemble her wardrobe for the week of public appearances required of a dairy princess.
Miss Moreland defeated nine finalists to win the title.
A $300 scholarship and a $500 wardrobe were some of the benefits of becoming the state princess. In addition, Miss Moreland will have the chance to compete for the national title in Chicago next June. But the young woman believes the best part of having won is meeting so many "wonderful people" at the competitions and public appearances.
Miss Moreland's sorority, Chi Omega, entered her name in the competition without her knowledge. The fact that she grew up on a 800 acre dairy farm near Mount Hope qualified her for the competition.
She said she is anxious to bring people a more realistic view of farmers.
"Farmers are greatly underestimated," she said. "The image of the 'dumb farmer' is a distorted one. I want the public to know that farmers are beautiful, smart people. Farming is a competitive business where only the smartest survive."
Television programs to be aired by Journalism School
An All American rating was awarded the University Daily Kansas by the Associated Collegeate Press at the University of Minnesota in the 81st All American Critical Service competition.
The Kansan received Mark of Distinction credit for superior accomplishment in coverage, and content, writing and editing, editorial leadership and photography.
"Competition for top ratings is tougher each year," Otto W. Quale, Associated Collegiate Press executive director stated.
Issues of the Kansan published from January through May 1969 were judged on coverage and content, writing and editing, editorial leadership, physical appearance and photography. Marks of Distinction for superior achievement may be awarded in each of the five categories and a paper must receive at least four such credits to be rated All American.

Specifically cited as an example of "good, responsible, aggressive journalism" was the Kansan's special supplement on poverty.

Under the guidance of Peter Dart, associate professor of journalism, the workshop will be executed entirely by the students. It will include ten minutes of KU news, weather, campus calendar events, and other items of information specifically aimed at the student every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Television programs for students will be the goal of a television workshop beginning this year in the William Allen White School of Journalism.
To receive credit for their efforts, students must enroll in either Journalism 99 or Speech 99. Dart said students need not be enrolled in the class to participate in the program production.
"Experience is not necessary," Dart said. "But interest, desire and motivation is a must. Anyone can help with the production, and we could use some pretty faces for such jobs as weather girls."
Dart added that students not enrolled in one of the classes would be assigned regular tasks if they wish to help with production.
Currently the students are setting up picture files of administrators, campus scenes, and campus controversies much the same as newspapers. The purpose, explained Dart, is to give students more experience in day-to-day deadlines and to establish organization, interest and format.
Dart said students today are highly imaginative and creative, and are capable of introducing completely new ideas and concepts into the television world. He cited an example of his students at San Francisco State, where the Smothers Brothers adopted some of his students' techniques.
The program will be aired on closed circuit television with two monitors in Flint Hall, but the goal is to have a line to a monitor in the booth in front of Bailey Hall and the Kansas Union. "Eventually we hope to have this circuit in all living organizations much the same as KUOK radio," Dart said.
"We should be leading community stations," Dart said. "It's much the same as medical schools leading hospitals. If they didn't hospitals would probably still be casting out devils."
Through this workshop, Dart said a long range goal is to produce students who could make quality TV shows superior to the current trends.
Though the department is adequately budgeted, Dart said there is a severe lack of good equipment. Most of the equipment is 13-years old, and the maximum age should never exceed 10 years. The department is lacking chairs, desks and typewriters. "However, we do have two new Ampex cameras that are really quite good," Dart added.
nels, which would be available by means of CATV. Should this happen, KU would be equipped to broadcast to all subscribers, said Dart.
One of the problems facing Dart and his students is limited coverage. Greater coverage could be achieved if the people of the community who have the CATV franchise would activate it. These people have suggested that KU might be given one of the chan-
Dart, although plagued with inadequate equipment, is optimistic toward the future of room 118-A in Flint Hall.
"We have to start somewhere," he said, "and in spite of all the problems, perhaps it is by austerity that we develop character."
